Coleman Ringwood bike safety pilot

ATTN City Council:

My name is Paul Kreiner and I live in the Willows neighborhood of Menlo Park. I am writing to express my support for a pilot of ths safe bike route proposal following the Coleman Ringwood transportation study. I have a daughter at Upper Laurel, a son at Lower Laurel, and a son in daycare at All Five. We’ve used routes on both Coleman Ave and Ringwood Ave to bike the kids to/from Lower Laurel as well as to park and walk when there are events on campus. I would like to do this more often but it simply doesn’t feel safe due to the lack of sidewalks on both roads and the lack of a bike lane or shoulder on Coleman. I am in favor of the proposal to convert the county portion of Coleman into a one-way road so that the closed portion can be reserved for pedestrians and cyclists. This is a simple, low cost remedy to an unsafe situation.

Thanks,
Paul Kreiner
